Automotive winter testing

Swedish Lapland offers state-of-the-art winter testing. We are your partner in the development of new systems, concepts and in the certification process.

Each year, manufacturers of vehicles, components and tyres come from all over the world to Swedish Lapland to take advantage of the excellent facilities, expertise and technical consultancy services in winter testing. We offer stable, natural conditions with temperatures that remain below zero for several months. Guaranteed cold weather is an added bonus, since it is an effective stress test, even for many components that are not normally subjected to cold-weather testing.

The demand for testing will continue to increase due to shorter lead times, more complex systems and stronger environmental concerns. The answer is Arctic Arc – a strategic investment for year-round testing with around 55 000 square meters of proving ground featuring a wide range of testing. This will be a major European research infrastructure for collaboration and knowledge building.
